PART 1-DAY 1 Patrick Soldi In this interview, the name of the person being interviewed is Sherman Doleman. This interview took place on October 17, 1938. In the interview, the German states that his father was a blacksmith. This lead him to be a blacksmith for forty years of his life. He was also successful in being a painter from 1920 to 1938. In the interview, Sherman stated, “I learned the blacksmithing trade from my father. I'd stand on a cracker box and throw burlap sacks on my feet to keep from the hot scales. I would strike for three men. Striking means using a sledge for pounding breaking plow-legs.” Also in the interview, Doleman describes his feelings about many things he went through as a kid. For example, he stated the first time he saw Indians. “The first time I saw Indians I was scared. The Indians came through. The savage look of them and the way they was dressed scared me.” Sherman also describes what it was like in Nebraska. “In those days Nebraska was loaded with all kinds of wild game and fur bearing animals. Wild chickens in the trees in the winter time that would cover 160 acres.” Judging from this interview, I can Sherman Doleman as an average person who can easily recall memories from his past. He seems to have had a successful life with little complaints.
